Sophomore Markevis Johnson knocked down three key buckets from beyond the arc under the five minute mark to help seal the victory. Johnson sunk a total of seven three-pointers on the evening, accounting for all 21 of his points. Fellow sophomore Khaliq Ford led the Dukes in scoring with 23 points. Kyle Philo chipped in with 12 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists, and Shaheed Black recorded 9 points, pulled down 10 rebounds, and blocked 7 shots.
